Megan Carter

Megan Carter serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4661 7 Cons Cd unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing facility sustainment and infrastructure resilience contracts that support operational readiness across garrison and expeditionary environments. She oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions for mission-enabling services, with a primary focus on landscaping and grounds maintenance contracts that ensure compliance with environmental standards and installation aesthetic and functional requirements. Her work directly supports the Air Force’s broader infrastructure modernization goals by ensuring that non-mission-critical but operationally essential land management services are delivered efficiently and in alignment with DoD sustainability directives. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Megan consistently engages with a diverse pool of small business vendors, prioritizing long-term, performance-based partnerships that emphasize reliability, regulatory compliance, and environmental stewardship. Her contracting approach favors firms with proven experience in military installation landscaping, irrigation system maintenance, and invasive species control, often requiring adherence to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) performance work statements and sustainability metrics. Megan maintains a 100% small business set-aside preference across all acquisitions, fully aligning with FAR 19.5 and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. She routinely awards contracts to small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) programs, reinforcing the Air Force’s mandate to maximize opportunities for disadvantaged entrepreneurs in infrastructure support services. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), encompassing turf management, tree care, erosion control, stormwater infrastructure maintenance, and native plant installation. Megan’s technical expertise lies in integrating landscape architecture principles with military operational needs, ensuring that grounds maintenance supports both mission readiness and environmental compliance across Air Force installations.
